by Cindy McLennan, June 29, 2016

The Lockup TV show has been cancelled by MSNBC after 25 seasons. Executive producer Rasha Drachkovitch hopes the series can live on by alternate means. THR reports:

“Because we’ve been leaders in this space, new and exciting opportunities are on the horizon for 44 Blue to continue bringing viewers stories of the extreme human condition,” he said. “We’ve been approached to create content in the same genre that we’ve had such success pioneering, we look forward to telling more stories of life behind bars. Whether it be linear, international, VR or digital – exciting things to come.”

Why would you cancel a show that was doing extremely well. I dont watch this channel anymore. My wife and i have watched it since it began I’m very disappointed and I hope that the producers find a way to bring it back.

Lock-up should have never been canceled.25 seasons,you must have been doing something to right.I loved watching every weekend,I think I know every episode by heart.Pls,find a way to continue this great show!!!

I love Lockup & am so sad that it has been canceled. I thought it would be back on after the election was over. I searched it online & came upon this page. Very disappointed to find out it will no longer be on, not even reruns.

I hate that Lockup has been cancelled! It’s one of the original ‘reality tv shows’. Hopefully another channel will pick it up quickly. MSNBC is definitely going to loose ratings on Saturday nights over this huge mistake.
